than his modest bodily frame/slight build or modest build/frame
My comment:
he was more generous than his small frame-author seems to be comparing Leoncino's small corporeal body to his character; involucro= case/sheath/covering, so here it is referring to his build. I suggest the last i.e. modest/slight build-modest build is more literal
